Like Matt Damon (Memory in Cannes), Liam Neeson (Taken) or Helen Mirren (Red) before him, Bob Odenkirk surprised everyone with Nobody, in which he revealed himself as an action hero.
Released in March 2021 in the United States and on June 2 of the same year in France, in a difficult context where Covid had a strong impact on cinemas, the feature film grossed $57.5 million worldwide. It is enough to consider the continuation.
It took a while to come to fruition, especially due to concerns about the health of Bob Odenkirk, who suffered a heart attack on the set of the final season of Better Call Saul on July 27, 2021. But this time it is. is: nobody 2 gets. Directed by Timo Tiajanto, a relatively lesser-known filmmaker here, who replaces Ilya Naishuler, and slated for an August 13, 2025 release.

To immortalize that first round of applause, the director posted two behind-the-scenes photos: one with producer David Leitch (who directed The Last Fall Boy ), the other with Bob Odenkirk. But there is still no sign of Connie Nielsen and Christopher Lloyd returning for this sequel. Neither does Sharon Stone, the powerful new recruit hired to be the story’s villain.
About which we do not know much at the moment, except that the past of the wife of former assassin Hutch Mansell will be at the center of the story this time. And that, no doubt, there will still be some of the painful fights and backfires that made the first installment so charming and successful in its way of using the John Wick formula effectively. With a more unexpected actor in the lead role.
